NEW YORK, April 21.-Capt. J. B. Cogrhlan and his officers of the United States cruiser Raleigh were entertained Ht the Union League club tonight. Capt. Cog-Man was called upon to speak. lie accepted and before conclud ing told this story of his admiral: "An offi.-er of our friend, Admiral yon Diedrich came down one day to make complaint, It was my pleasure to step out on the quarterdeck just as he came aboard. It was partly by accident and partly by design. I heard him tell the ad miral about his complaint and I heard the admiral reply: 'Tell your admiral those ships of his must stop when I say so. I wish to mike the blockade of this harbor com plete.' "The German officer replied: 'But we fly the flagJ "The reply of the admiral was just like Dewey. He said: " 'Those Hags can be bought at a half v dollar a yard, anywhere.' "There was no fun in that expression of the admiral. He told the officer that any one could fly a German flag, and that a whole Spanish .fleet might come up on him with German flags up. Then he drew back and stroked his mustache. He has a great habit of stroking his mustache when he gets mad. He said: " 'Tell your admiral I am blockading Now not* carefully what I say, and lei! your admiral that I say it. I have been making this blockade as easy for • everybody as I could, but I am getting tired of the puerile work here.' It has been of such a character that a man would not notice it although children might figftt over it, but the time has come when it must stop.

It was found by div.ers from the Yankton, who made a thorough inspec tion, finding the hull lying- on the port side, with no indications of having been struck by a heavy shell, as was origin ally reported. The vessel, however, is badly stove and literally riddled with six pound shell.

It serves to emphasize the difficulty of con victing potent political defendants charg ed with crime, no matter how clear, con vincing and overwhelming the evidence may be. The story of the corrupt use and speculation in public money in Penn syl\ania is an old one, and has been a matter of notorious accusation against a long line of state treasurers and political bosses for many years. Mr. Quay him self has been again and again accused of participation in treasury Jobbing by the newspapers of this and other states, with circumstantial detail. Heretofore, how ever, the basis for these accusations largely consisted of oral testimony and of allegations by political opponents. The case which terminated today, unlike pre vious accusations, was founded exclu sively upon documentary proof in his own handwriting and that of his friends and , confederates. The evidence of his guilt did not depend upon the varacity of any mun or men, but was supported exclu sively by his own letter, and by written entries and statements recorded by his trusted friends and supporters. From the day the prosecution against him was instituted until the verdict was recorded he has sought by every device to delay and obstruct the efforts of the common walth's officers to produce the written evidence of his misdoing and to bring him to trial for his offense. "This ls a new chapter of shame for Pennsylvania, a record of failure in tha administration of justice that will do much to encourage corruptionists and public plunderers generally throughout the country. The first .shout of deliant exultation over his acquittal proceeded from the governor of the commonwealth, who has promptly appointed him a Unit ed States senator, without authority, in violation of law, and in defiance of the will of the people as expressed in the votes In the legislature. It is fitting in every respect that the keystone built up by Quay politicians should be in the gov ernor's chair. "Quay, has got his technical verdict, but the trial of corruptionists and public plunderers will still go on." United States Senator Boies Penrose said: "The appointment of Senator Quay by the governor is the logical result of the situation. Mr. Quay's leadership in the Republican party and his candidacy for re-election as senator were made issues in the gubernatorial campaign of last fall by the Democratic party, and that faction of the Republican party which, on election day, generally turned in for the Democratic candidate. "The Republican candidate for gov ernor, after a campaign of unparalleled misrepresentation and villification, was elected by a great plurality, and Mr. Quay's candidacy— this issue having been forced by the opposition— was indirectly sustained by the vote of the people. "The legislature convened, and a cau cus of the Republican members was held, according to usage, and proceeded to nominate a senator. Up to a short time before the meeting of the caucus* Mr. Quay was certain of a large majority in that body and had personal assur ances that nearly all Republican mem bers would attend and abide by its de cision. At the last moment a minority of less than one-third refused to attend, and the Republican nominee of the cau cus, although receiving over two-thirds of his party vote, failed to receive a ma jority of all members of the legislature, as required by the act of congress. The majority l'efused to yield to the dictation of the majority, and a failure to elect a senator was the result. "In this contest Mr. Quay really won 'one of the greatest victories of his long political career. The regular Republi cans in the legislature, representing the Pennsylvania, fought to sustain the principle of majority rule in the party, and in that contention was successful. A notable precedent was created, and It wil be many years before a similar at tempt is made by the minority to hold up the will of the majority in the elec tion of a senator in this state. Those members of the legislature who stood so steadfastly for principle are entitled to great praise, and their course has been and will be vindicated by the sen timent of the Republican party of the state."

"SEWSFS" KLONDIKE TRIP EXPERIENCES OF A CHICAGO NEWSBOY IN THE ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS Papers Month* Old Sold for $1.50 Each Enterprising- Youth Made a Fortune Spent Money Lav ishly. An odd character drifted into the city yesterday In the person of John Carmody, a boy of eighteen years old who ls well known on the Pacific coast as the "Klondike Newsboy." He had come from Chicago, stealing his way on pas senger trains, and is on his way back to Alaska in search of gold and excite ment. He is a slim, pale-faced boy and his countenance bears marks of many experiences with and in the world, ln spite of his lack of years. He told his own story in a very interesting manner and produced credentials signed by Capt. C. G. Clybouradi, captain of the Seattle port St. Michael steamer Caronne, and certified to by Joaquin Miller, bearing date of Junf^ 4, 1898. "When I was in the city last, on my re turn from the Klondike," said he, "I stopped at the Ryan hotel and had $1,900 In gold dust with which to pay my way. This was last summer, and now I am here again. This time I am stopping at a cheap lodging house and haven't got a cent except a little money that I have turned in one way and another. "I went to Alaska last spring as a stowaway on the Caronne. I took with me 1,200 copies of Chicago, St. Paul, Mil waukee, Detroit and New York papers, which I bought before leaving, and when I got to St. Michaels I packed them to Summit and then to Circle City. I had great luck and sold every sheet that I had brought with me for $1.50 each. When the papers were gone, I blacked boots for fifty cents a shine and turned a good deal of money. Then I worked for a while at $12 a. day in a restaurant In Dawson;- That was too hard .for me and I had; to quit as the day's work was sixteen hours long and no rest between times. Everybody paid ln dust and money was as easy as air. "In Dawson, the same conditions pre vailed, but it was not nearly so pleasant. The miners are all jolly good fellows, and used me in the kindest manner, but Daw son was filled with toughs and gamblers who went there to do the miners, and fights and shooting scrapes were of daily occurrence. Everybody carried a gun and there was a saloon called "Back the Blood," which was hell on earth. I peddled oranges there for a dollar each. Girls are in demand. A restaurant girl could earn $50 a month without trouble, and all kinds of labor was at a premium. "When I got to Seatt'e a friend of mine will stake me to enough to pay for a stock of papers and then I will repeat the process. When I came out last year I had $2,600. but I spent $700 in Seattle before coming on east. I shall beat my way and earn enough to live on by black ing boots or peddling, or selling papers. I'll get along all right. •Tve got a scheme that's a good one to win out on. I'm going to buy 200 pounds of popcorn in Seattle and sell it In Daw son at 25 cents a sack. Last year there was a great demand for it. though there was very little to be had." Returned a Sealed Verdict. The damage suit of John C. Kemp against Manager Weinholzer, of the riff?

WANTED. Some War Secrets Are Canting to the Surface. LONDON. April 22.-*Rh e Daily Chron icle says this morning: fjs 5 "We are informed that during the His r,ano- American war Germany proposed to the Ln.ted States the ees.slbn of a coal ing station in the Philippines in the event of annexation, together with an exchange ot commercial privileges. The United States replied that the proposal was pre mature, especially In view of the uncer tainty as to the way the public would regard the request. Later on Germany asked the I'nited States not to annex the Caroline islands, claiming the first right to them, and renewing her request for a coaling station in the Philippines in ex change for the islands in the MarshaH and Brown croups east of ta* Carolines." STALLED IN MONTANA THREE HUNDRED PASSENGERS WHO WERE DELAYED REACH ST. PAIL WERE STOPPED BY THE FLOODS Some of Them. Were at Havre for a "Week: Were Furnished Meals and AH Possible Comforts hy the ' Railroad Counpany The Train Came in ln Three Sections What One of the Passengers Says. More than 300 Great Northern passen gers, who were blockaded en route East from the coast by the floods '.n Montana, arrived in St. Paul during the early hours of yesterday morning. All were thankful that there enforced detention at the lit tle town of Havre, Mont., where the ravages of the flood made further travel from the West impossible, was at an end. Everything possible for the comfort of the passengers was done by the railroad, but such numbers of travelers, all anxious to reach their different destinations, rath er interfered with the pleasure of such a gathering under other conditions. The special trains came in a section at a time, the first section pulling into the union depot at 3:35 a. m. Twenty minutes later the second section arrived, and by 5 o'clock the last section was under the sheds. By the arrival of the specials it was believed that the blockade had been finally raised. A spur track is said to either have been built or is in process of construction about the flooded district in Montana so that from now on, notwith standing the water, Great Northern trains, it is reported, will make the through overland trip on time. Some of the belated passengers were BRIGHT'S DISEASE CURED. AFTER MANY TREATMENTS HAD FAILED TO GIVE RELIEF A Remedy Waa at Last Discovered and the Malady Wan Eradicated— One of Many Cases in Wisconsin. ASHLAND, Wis., April 21. -John L. Boquest, engineer at the Sulphite Fibre Co.'s plant, was being hurried rapidly to the grave by Bright's Disease, when a good friend advised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. The sick man had previous ly used many different medicines, electric belts, etc., but could get no relief. He, however, decided to heed his friend's ad vice, and as a result he is today a well man. He says: "My eyes felt heavy, my head and back ached, my urine was very dark in color, and I was almost a wreck. After using two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. My aches have left me, my eyesight is again good, and I feel like a new man." Bright's Disease can be cured only by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This has been demonstrated in thqusands of cases. Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by drug gists at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50.i Sent by mail on receipt of price by Dodd's Medietas Co., Buffalo, N. Y. prisoners at Havre for eleven days, while others, starting from the coast later were in the blockade from several days to a week. During the delay the travelers were taken care of by the railroad ln the most comfortable manner possible, under the circumstances. Most of them made their temporary homes in the sleep ers and coaches, and were supplied with meals on the cars. Those who had sleep ing berths fared comparatively well, but owing to the crowded rtains all could not be thus provided for, and passengers say that some had to be content with ac commodation in the day coatches. The feeding of the passengers was, owing to their numbers, accomplished with some difficulty, and the dining car crews were a busy lot. Almost throughout each day the dining cars were continuously filled. As soon as one lot of passengers had been satisfied another lot filed in. In this manner it was quite like one long meal to the car crew, inasmuch as by the time the last consignment had eaten break fast the first to have been served were ready for dinner. On the whole, however, everyone made the best of a bad bar gain, and remained in general content ment, cherishing the consolation that would be theirs when once more on their journey. Among the passengers on the third .spe cial to arrive was Miss Orley Harkins, of Faribault, Minn., who accompanied the remains of her sister, Mrs. Wilson, from Seattle. Miss Harkins was delayed at Havre for a week. The body of Mrs. Wilson was taken care of in the baggage car. The remains had been emblamed, consequently did not suffer through the delay. Miss Harkins was met here by her brother, L. D. Harkins, yesterday morning. With the remains of Mrs^-Wll son, Miss Harkins and Mr. Harkins left yesterday for Faribault. Another body also arrived on the first special. The majority of the passengers were bound for points further east and many of them remained on the trains until hours when satisfying meals and the comforts of a dining room could be had at the hotels. Others, however, left the coaches immediately upon their arrival. . Most of the travelers left during the day.., and last evening for the East. The sudden arrival of so many passen gers at "once caused a flurry at the union depot baggage room and until late in the day the employes were busy transfering trunks, chests and sample cases. Five big truck loads of baggage, each con taining as many as twenty-live trunks, stood ranged along the depot platform at one time during the day. Everything ln connection with the belated passengers wri- straightened out by evening. The two regular Great Northern trains scheduled to leave this city for the coast yesterday went out on time. — RECALLS AST OLD ASSIGNMENT. Former Firm of St. Paul Confection, era Take the Bankruptcy Act. A petition in bankruptcy was filed this week In Chicago by Howard Spaulding, W. N. Cumbey and Hart Hawkins, former partners of the firm of Cumbev, Spaulding & Hawkins confectioners, at St. Paul. The concern went into tlie hands of an assignee in 1&%. The total debts of the firm amount to $27,000 and there are no assets. The firm was originally Main & Cuin bey, and occupied the location at 31 East Third street, now used as a commission house. During its existence, it was the leading confectionery firm in the city and did a heavy business. The senior partuer retired from business and his interest was taken by Hart Hawkins and Howard Spaulding, two young Chicago men with plenty of money and little business ex perlence. W. N. Cumbey retained his In terest and the establishment organized under the firm name of Cumbey. Spauld- 7 ing & Hawkins. The younger partners were men lacking proper business ex perience and had extravagant tastes and Ideas which soon plunged the firm into debt. Business dropped off and an as signment was finally made. Improved Picnic Grounds at BnMse.ll Beach, Chisago Lakes. The St. Paul & Duluth Railroad will spend considerable money in fixing up their picnic grounds at Russell Beach for this season's picnics. A new fleet of six ty row boats and several sail boats will be added to the present large equipment. A small steamer will also ply between the principal resorts on the lakes. A large supply of ice has been put up and picnics will be furnished ice free of charge. The large dancing pavilion has been repaired, and the bath houses, re freshment stands, kitchen, etc., have been renovated and put in shape for the com ing summer, which promises to be the best picnic season in years. Russell Beach is extremely popular with picnic committees, as it is the only grounds whlch is free, and where all the refresh ments and other privileges are given to the picnickers themselves, and not held by outside parties. General Passenger Agent Stone, of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, says the recent report in the daily papers that picnics would be com pelled to charter special trains for Rus sell Beach and other resorts is not true, but that the picnic rates this year are cheaper than ever before, and more priv ileges are extended to their picnic pa trons than by any other railroad. For est Lake, Bald Eagle and Mahtomed) am also located on the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, and are favorite picnic resorts wen patronized by the people of tlie Twin Cities. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
